[quote=Anonymous]I'm interested in hearing when and if you told family and friends about your fertility struggles. On the one hand, I think it would be a huge relief to tell our parents. But beyond that, I worry some family members would either gossip or feel totally sorry for us. Anyone have thoughts on whether/how to do this? My husband and I are just about to reach 2 years of TTC (for #2), and will soon start IVF. We especially feel pressure because our DS is almost 4 and we have been getting questions about a sibling for him (I usually deflect with humor or sidestepping). Plus we have several family members who are having children now, and the spotlight seems especially bright now. Thanks for any advice and insights. [/quote]
